Profile: Smooth body with a smoky aroma and sweet earthy flavor.
Place: West-central Sumatra near the port of Padang-Sumatra, Indonesia.
People: While most coffees are named after the country or growing region where they are farmed and harvested, Mandheling Coffee is named after the Mandheling People, who traditionally farmed and processed these coffee beans.
Process: This coffee is semi-washed - a process in which the outer skin is removed in a fashion similar to the fully washed process. Once the skin is removed, however, the pulpy mucilage is left to dry on the bean. This process makes for a fruitier taste and stronger, heavier body.
Pairing: Fresh cherries, pecans, chocolate, carrot cake.

We source our coffee from the best family coffee farms around the world and buy only the top 1% of Arabica Beans.

We hand roast our coffee daily in small batches to a traditional, smooth taste profile. This is the way we've done it since 1963, when we opened our first store in Brentwood, CA.

This is the best Sumatra I have tasted and the best CBTL coffee I have tasted so far. I use a french press and the result is full bodied and flavorful coffee. As the Sumatra Mandheling Dark is often out of stock I have tried and liked the regular Sumatra, Kenya AA and Tanzania Peaberry. The Ethiopia Yirgacheffe was not to my liking. I'll try the Sulawesi next time the Sumatra Mandheling Dark is unavailable.

As a coffee addict, I have a single cup of coffee every morning. That cup starts my day. This Sumatra Mandheling Dark Coffee meets my needs and then some. It has a great bold taste that doesn't have a bitter finish. Strong, but not overpowering. A great way to start my mornings.

When you are in the mood for a strong coffee that is also full of flavor, this is the one. It has flavor that espresso or French just don't have. That said, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf French is an outstanding coffee when one needs variety... This is one of the finest coffees in the world (and Mandheling regular). Very much full of rich coffee taste from start to finish. No acidic sourness of cheap coffees. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has the best coffees in the world in my opinion and Sumatra Mandheling is simply amazing.
